6.2.3.2.7  MA PDU sessionsp. 90
6.2.3.2.7.1  Generalp. 90
In the present document, an MA PDU session will include two general types of PDU sessions as defined below:
  • MA-Confirmed: This is an MA PDU session where the UE signals Upgrade Allowed to MA and the network immediately upgrades the session to an MA PDU session or the UE explicitly requests an MA PDU session (using a Request Type of MA PDU).
  • MA-Upgrade-Allowed: This is a PDU session where the UE indicated that upgrade to an MA PDU session is allowed, but the network does not immediately confirm the upgrade. The network may at some later point upgrade the session to an MA PDU session.
An MA-Confirmed MA PDU session may be established over a single access or over multiple accesses. The establishment over multiple accesses may occur concurrently or may occur at different points in time.
An MA-Upgrade-Allowed MA PDU session is established over a single access and nearly all aspects appears to be an ordinary non-MA PDU session with the key difference that the network may upgrade the session to an MA-confirmed MA PDU session.

6.2.3.2.7.2  MA PDU session establishmentp. 91
The IRI-POI in the SMF shall generate an xIRI containing an SMFMAPDUSessionEstablishment record when the IRI-POI present in the SMF detects that a PDU session has been established for the target UE that is an MA PDU session (Request Type set to MA PDU session or upgraded at establishment), or where the upgrade allowed parameter is set to upgrade allowed and session is established as an ordinary PDU session (not upgraded at establishment, but may occur later on). The IRI-POI present in the SMF shall generate the xIRI for the following events:
  • For a non-roaming scenario , the SMF sends the N1 NAS message (via AMF) PDU SESSION ESTABLISHMENT ACCEPT to the UE for a new PDU session and the 5G Session Management (5GSM) state within the SMF is changed to PDU SESSION ACTIVE (see clauses 6.1.3.3 and 6.4.1 of TS 24.501) in response to a PDU SESSION ESTABLISHMENT REQUEST received along with:
    • PDU Session ID which does not identify an existing PDU session, and
    • Request Type = MA PDU request, or
    • Request Type = initial request and MA PDU session information set to "MA PDU session network upgrade is allowed", with either upgrade occurring at establishment or upgrade does not occur at establishment but may occur later.
  • For a home-routed roaming scenario, the SMF in the HPLMN (i.e. H-SMF) sends the N16: Nsmf_PDU_Session_Create Response message with n1SmInfoToUe IE containing the PDU SESSION ESTABLISHMENT ACCEPT (see clauses 5.2.1, 5.2.2.7, 5.2.3, and 6.1.6 of TS 29.502) for a new PDU session in response to a PDU SESSION ESTABLISHMENT REQUEST received along with:
    • PDU Session ID which does not identify an existing PDU session, and
    • Request Type = MA PDU request, or
    • Request Type = initial request and MA PDU session information set to "MA PDU session network upgrade is allowed", with either upgrade occurring at establishment or upgrade does not occur at establishment but may occur later.
If the Npcf_SMPolicyControl_Create response received from the PCF for the target UE in response to Npcf_SMPolicyControl_Create request includes PCC rules in which the traffic control policy data contains either a routeToLocs IE or trafficSteeringPolIdDl IE and/or trafficSteeringPolIdUl IE, then the SMF shall include those PCC rules in the xIRI. These PCC rules correspond to policies that influence the target UE's traffic flows (see clause 5.5.3 of TS 29.513).

6.2.3.2.7.3  MA PDU session modificationp. 94
The IRI-POI in the SMF shall generate an xIRI containing an SMFMAPDUSessionModification record when the IRI-POI present in the SMF detects that an MA PDU session has been modified for the target UE. The IRI-POI present in the SMF shall generate the xIRI for the following events:
  • For a non-roaming scenario, the SMF (or for a roaming scenario, V-SMF in the VPLMN), receives the N1 NAS message (via AMF) PDU SESSION MODIFICATION COMPLETE from the UE and the 5GSM state within the SMF is returned to PDU SESSION ACTIVE (see clauses 6.1.3.3 and 6.4.2 of TS 24.501). This applies to the following cases for an MA-Upgrade-Allowed PDU session:
  • For a non-roaming scenario, the SMF (or for a roaming scenario, V-SMF in the VPLMN), receives the N1 NAS message (via AMF) PDU SESSION RELEASE COMPLETE from the UE in response to a PDU SESSION RELEASE COMMAND message containing an Access type IE identifying a single access to be released of an MA PDU session which was established over both accesses and the 5GSM state within the SMF remains in the PDU SESSION ACTIVE. This applies to the following case:
    • A single access type is released from an MA PDU session, but the MA PDU session continues.
  • For a non-roaming scenario, the SMF (or for a roaming scenario, V-SMF in the VPLMN), sends the N1 NAS message (via AMF) PDU SESSION ESTABLISHMENT ACCEPT to the UE and the 5GSM state within the SMF remains in the PDU SESSION ACTIVE (see clauses 6.1.3.3 and 6.4.1 of TS 24.501). This applies to the following cases:
    • Handover from one access type to another access type happens (e.g. 3GPP to non-3GPP) for an MA-Upgrade-Allowed MA PDU session (see clauses 4.9.2.3 and 4.9.2.4 of TS 23.502).
    • MA PDU Session establishment over second access type.
  • For a home-routed roaming scenario, the SMF in the HPLMN (i.e. H-SMF) receives the N16: Nsmf_PDU_Session_Update Response message with n1SmInfoFromUe IE containing the PDU SESSION MODIFICATION COMPLETE (see clauses 5.2.1, 5.2.2.8, 5.2.3, and 6.1.6 of TS 29.502). This applies to the following cases for an MA-Upgrade-Allowed PDU session:
  • For a non-roaming scenario, SMF sends a Nsmf_EventExposure_Notify request to the NEF or AF for the target UE for the event "UP Path Change" related to a corresponding subscription from AF (see clause 4.2.2 of TS 29.508).
  • For a non-roaming scenario, SMF sends a Nsmf_EventExposure_AppRelocationInfo response to the NEF or AF for the target UE in response to Nsmf_EventExposure_AppRelocationInfo request sent by NEF or AF to SMF (see clause 4.2.5 of TS 29.508).
  • For a non-roaming scenario, SMF receives a Nnef_PFDManagement_Fetch response from the NEF for the target UE in response to Nnef_PFDManagement_Fetch request sent by SMF to NEF (see clause 4.2.2 of TS 29.551).
  • For a home-routed roaming scenario, the SMF in the HPLMN (i.e. H-SMF) receives the N16: Nsmf_PDU_Session_Update Response message with n1SmInfoFromUe IE containing the PDU SESSION RELEASE COMPLETE message, a response to a PDU SESSION RELEASE COMMAND message containing an Access type IE identifying a single access to be released of an MA PDU session which was established over both accesses and the 5GSM state within the SMF remains in the PDU SESSION ACTIVE. This applies to the following cases:
    • A single access type is released from an MA PDU session, but the MA PDU session continues.
  • For a home-routed roaming scenario, the SMF in the HPLMN (i.e. H-SMF) sends the N16: Nsmf_PDU_Session_Create Response message with n1SmInfoToUe IE containing the PDU SESSION ESTABLISHMENT ACCEPT (see clauses 5.2.1, 5.2.2.8, 5.2.3, and 6.1.6 of TS 29.502) while it had received an N16 Nsmf_PDU_Session_Create request message with an existing PDU Session Id with access type being changed. This applies to the following cases:
    • Handover from one access type to another access type happens (e.g. 3GPP to non-3GPP) for an MA-Upgrade-Allowed PDU session (see clauses 4.9.2.3 and 4.9.2.4 of TS 23.502). In this case, the V-SMF is used for the PDU session on the new access type only.
    • MA PDU Session establishment over second access type.
  • For a home-routed roaming scenario, the SMF in the HPLMN (i.e. H-SMF) sends the N16: Nsmf_PDU_Session_Update Response message with n1SmInfoToUe IE containing the PDU SESSION ESTABLISHMENT ACCEPT (see TS 29.502) while it had received a N16 Nsmf_PDU_Session_Update Request message with an existing PDU Session Id with access type being changed. This applies to the following cases:
    • Handover from one access type to another access type happens (e.g. 3GPP to non-3GPP) where the same V-SMF is used for the PDU session on both access types.
    • MA PDU Session establishment over second access type.
For a non-roaming scenario, SMF sends a Npcf_SMPolicyControlUpdateNotify response to the PCF for the target UE in response to an Npcf_SMPolicyControlUpdateNotify request sent by PCF to SMF including PCC rules which traffic control policy data contains either a routeToLocs IE or trafficSteeringPolIdDl IE and/or trafficSteeringPolIdUl IE. These PCC rules correspond to policies that influence the target UE's traffic flows (see clause 5.5.3 of TS 29.513).

6.2.3.2.7.4  MA PDU session releasep. 97
The IRI-POI in the SMF shall generate an xIRI containing an SMFMAPDUSessionRelease record when the IRI-POI present in the SMF detects that an MA PDU session has been released. The IRI-POI present in the SMF shall generate the xIRI for the following events:
  • For a non-roaming scenario, the SMF (or for a roaming scenario, V-SMF in the VPLMN), receives the N1 NAS message (via AMF) PDU SESSION RELEASE COMPLETE from the UE and the 5GSM state within the SMF is changed to PDU SESSION INACTIVE (see clauses 6.1.3.3 and 6.4.3 of TS 24.501) for a PDU session that is either MA-Confirmed or MA-Upgrade-Allowed. This applies to the following two cases:
  • For a roaming scenario, V-SMF in the VPLMN receives the N1 NAS message (via AMF) PDU SESSION RELEASE COMPLETE from the UE and the 5GSM state within the V-SMF is changed to PDU SESSION INACTIVE (see clauses 6.1.3.3 and 6.4.3 of TS 24.501) for a PDU session that is either MA-Confirmed or MA-Upgrade-Allowed. This applies to the following two cases:
    • UE initiated PDU session release of a single access for an MA PDU session; (VPLMN considers MA PDU session fully released while HPLMN considers MA PDU session active).
    • Network initiated PDU session release of a single access for an MA PDU session; (VPLMN considers MA PDU session fully released while HPLMN considers MA PDU session active).
  • For a non-roaming scenario, the SMF (or for a roaming scenario, V-SMF in the VPLMN), receives the N1 NAS message (via AMF) STATUS from the UE with the cause values listed in clause 6.5.3 of TS 24.501 and the 5GSM state within the SMF is changed to PDU SESSION INACTIVE for a PDU session that is either MA-Confirmed or MA-Upgrade-Allowed. One of the cases where this applies is of UE finding that the PDU session ID received in a PDU SESSION MODIFICATION COMMAND is invalid.
  • For a non-roaming scenario, the SMF (or for a roaming scenario, the V-SMF in the VPLMN) sends the Nsmf_PDUSession_ReleaseSMContext Response to the AMF (see clause 5.2.2.4 of TS 29.502) for a PDU session that is either MA-Confirmed or MA-Upgrade-Allowed. This applies to the case where the MA PDU session is released without any N1 or N2 messages (e.g. AMF initiates the PDU session release when it finds that the PDU session is no longer associated with the UE, see clause 4.2.2.4 of TS 23.502).
  • For a non-roaming scenario, the SMF (or for a roaming scenarios, V-SMF in the VPLMN) sends Nsmf_PDUSession_SMContextStatusNotify (see clause 6.1.6.2.8 of TS 29.502) with RELEASED in the ResourceStatus IE (see clause 6.1.6.3.1 of TS 29.502) to the AMF for a PDU session that is either MA-Confirmed or MA-Upgrade-Allowed. This applies to the case where MA PDU session release is neither initiated by a NAS message nor by Nsmf_PDUSessionReleaseContext Request message (see clause 5.2.2.5 of TS 29.502).
  • For a home-routed roaming scenario, the SMF in the HPLMN (i.e. H-SMF) receives the N16: Nsmf_PDU_Session_Update Response message with n1SmInfoFromUe IE containing the PDU SESSION RELEASE COMPLETE (see clauses 5.2.1, 5.2.2.8, 5.2.3, and 6.1.6 of TS 29.502) from the V-SMF. This applies to the following three cases for an MA PDU session that is either MA-Confirmed or MA-Upgrade-Allowed:

6.2.3.2.7.5  Start of interception with an established MA PDU sessionp. 98
The IRI-POI in the SMF shall generate an xIRI containing an SMFStartOfInterceptionWithEstablishedMAPDUSession record when the IRI-POI present in the SMF detects that a MA PDU session has already been established for the target UE when interception starts.
In a non-roaming scenario, the IRI-POI in the SMF (or in a roaming scenario, the IRI-POI in the V-SMF in the VPLMN) shall generate the xIRI containing the SMFStartOfInterceptionWithEstablishedMAPDUSession record when it detects that a new interception for a UE is activated (i.e. provisioned by the LIPF) for the following case for an MA PDU session that is either MA-Confirmed or MA-Upgrade-Allowed:
  • The 5GSM state within the SMF for that UE is 5GSM: PDU SESSION ACTIVE or PDU SESSION MODIFICATION PENDING.
In a home-routed roaming scenario, the IRI-POI in the H-SMF shall generate the xIRI containing the SMFStartOfInterceptionWithEstablishedMAPDUSession record when it detects that a new interception for a UE is activated (i.e. provisioned by the LIPF) for the following case for an MA PDU session that is either MA-Confirmed or MA-Upgrade-Allowed:
  • The H-SMF had not sent an Nsmf_PDU_Session_Update Request (n1SmInfoToUe: PDU SESSION RELEASE COMMAND to release the entire MA PDU session) to the V-SMF for a PDU session and H-SMF had previously sent an Nsmf_PDU_Session_Create Response (n1SmInfoToUE: PDU SESSION ESTABLISHMENT ACCEPT) to the V-SMF for that PDU session.
The IRI-POI in the SMF shall generate the xIRI containing the SMFStartOfInterception­WithEstablishedMAPDUSession record for each of the MA PDU sessions (that meets the above criteria) associated with the newly identified target UEs.
The IRI-POI present in the SMF generating an xIRI containing a SMFStartOfInterception­WithEstablishedMAPDUSession record shall set the Payload Direction field in the PDU header to not applicable (Direction Value 5, see ETSI TS 103 221-2 [8] clause 5.2.6).

The IRI-POI in the SMF shall generate an xIRI containing an SMFPDUtoMAPDUSessionModification record when the IRI-POI present in the SMF detects that an existing PDU session for the target UE has been successfully modified to an MA PDU session using the PDU session modification procedures as described in TS 24.501. A PDU session is considered to be successfully modified to a MA PDU session, when all of the following are true:
  1. The UE is registered to both 3GPP access and non-3GPP access:
    • In the same PLMN (non-roaming UE).
    • In the different PLMNs (roaming UE).
  2. SMF receives the PDU SESSION MODIFICATION REQUEST from the UE (clause 8.2.10 of TS 24.501) that includes one of the following:
    • modification request and includes MA PDU session information IE set to MA PDU session network upgrade allowed.
    • MA PDU request.
  3. SMF sends a PDU SESSION MODIFICATION COMMAND to the UE that includes the ATSSS IE (clause 6.4.2.3 of TS 24.501).
  4. SMF receives the PDU SESSION MODIFICATION COMPLETE from the UE (clause 8.3.10.1 of TS 24.501).
  5. The 5GSM state within the SMF is PDU Session Active.
